Rig Workers Get BP Fund

BP is creating a $100 million charitable fund to support unemployed rig workers.

The Rig Worker Assistance Fund will be administered through the Gulf Coast Restoration and Protection Foundation, which supports The Baton Rouge Area Foundation.

“This voluntary donation fulfills the commitment BP announced on June 16 to provide $100 million in assistance as a gesture of good will for the people of the Gulf Coast region,” BP said in a news release.

More details on the oil rig worker fund are available from the South Florida Business Journal.
